An interesting story happened to one of the users of the recently hacked DeFi protocol Euler Finance. He sent a message to the hacker saying that he had lost all his savings. And the hacker returned the money.

In his transaction, the user stated that his life savings, which is 78 ETH ($130,000), were placed in the Euler Finance protocol. It seems that the hacker took pity on the user and immediately transferred 100 ETH to his wallet. It is not yet known whether the user will return the “surplus” of 22 coins.

In the comments, community members noted that the user lost not 78 ETH, but 78 wstETH. This token costs 10% more than regular ether, so the user initially lost not 78, but 85 ETH. However, he still received an additional 15 coins.

Recall that a few days ago, the Euler Finance DeFi protocol was hacked using an instant loan attack. The hacker managed to withdraw various assets worth almost $200 million. The developers offered the attacker to return 90% of the stolen funds, and keep 10% for himself. Otherwise, they promised the hacker “problems” with the law and stated that they would reward any person who provided information to catch the hacker in the amount of $1 million.
